starstarstarstarstar 		Fertility Herbal Remedies for High Prolactin
by: Maria Gioia Atzori

There are many things women with high prolactin levels can do in order to increase their chances of getting pregnant. Herbal remedies can be very effective in lowering high prolactin levels in many cases. Vitex Agnus Castus or Chaste tree berry is used because it acts on the hypothalamus and pituitary glands by increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) production increasing progesterone levels.

Vitex can be very effective in treating hyperprolactinemia (high prolactin levels) and luteal phase defect. Vitex should be taken for 3-6 months in order to see results in lowering prolactin levels, increase the luteal phase, treat PCOS, and normalize the menstrual cycle.
Many fertility herbal remedis have Vitex as main ingredients and can be very effective in helping women getting pregnant. Read my article on Fertility Herbs.

starstarstarstarstar 		High Prolactine Levels and Infertility
by: Maria Gioia Atzori

Prolactin is secreted by your pituitary gland. Prolactin is generally released in order to stimulate milk production in pregnant women. Prolactin inhibits two hormones necessary for ovulation: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). When you have excess prolactin, ovulation is not triggered, and you will not be unable to become pregnant. Prolactin also causes irregularities of the menstrual cycle and is associated with policistic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in some cases.
High prolactin usually results in low progesterone which makes your luteal phase (the second half of your menrtaual cycle) shorter.
In order to get pregnant you should know how long your luteal phase is. You should have at least 10-12 days. This is calculated by taking your basal body temprature daily and calculating the number of days your temperature stays high after the thermal shift at ovulation time. To learn more about this read my article on Fertility Charting.
